Urban Green Development towards Sustainability in Northwest China: Efficiency Assessment, Spatial-Temporal Differentiation Characters, and Influencing Factors by LiJuan Si, JiaLu Wang, ShuRan Yang, Ye Yang, Jing Zhang

“…The results show that, on the whole, the efficiency of green development in Northwest China is low, path dependence is serious and unbalanced, the coordinated development effect of different regions is weak, and the spillover effect of core urban agglomerations has not been effectively exerted; from the perspective of driving factors, economic development, population density, traffic situation, and education investment can significantly improve the efficiency of urban green development, and the second is that the proportion of industries significantly hinders the improvement of green development efficiency, while the impact of scientific and technological innovation is not significant. …”
